fore. Receipts were 275 cars, but 100 of these
were sent out and of the balance some had
been sold to arrive. Bran is trifle lower
with shorts steady. Corn rules firm, with
light offerings, but receipts of oats continue
heavy and sales are slow. Wheat-No. /
hard was quoted at the close at 7614c for cash
or March, 1889 May, and 1880 June. No.
